The nurse—who was adjusting the window blinds—turned and said with a smile, "Miss Melody, you're awake! I'm Nurse Patty, and I'll be taking care of you during your stay in the hospital. I was just about to pull down the blinds to let you sleep a bit longer. Did I wake you?"
Melody had just awakened from a nightmare and was still a bit dazed. "Where's my husband? Where did he go?"
"Oh, you mean Mister Lucas? He went back home to fetch some things for you. He said he'd be back within an hour, so he should be on his way back now," replied Patty with a smile still on her face.
Melody lowered her eyes. She did not want to admit it, but in moments like these, she really needed Lucas. She wanted him to stay by her side and never leave.
"Do you want some water? I notice your lips are a bit dry," Patty asked as she thoughtfully brought a glass of water and a cotton swab.
She thought that if Melody still felt uncomfortable, she could use the cotton swab to moisten her lips, providing some relief.
Melody nodded. Her body had gotten dehydrated during her coma, and her lips were dry and uncomfortable.
Patty was happy to see Melody nodding.
"Are you still sleepy? I can keep you company for a while. It's been a long time since I've seen such a loving young couple like you two."
As soon as Lucas was mentioned, Melody became interested. "Does our relationship really look that way to you?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
